Biotechnology for Fusarium resistance and mycotoxin decontamination in cereal grains

抄録

Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a devastating disease of important cereal crops resulting in significant yield loss and mycotoxin contamination. Although reducing fungal infections is the most desirable method to solve the problems, genetic approach and cultural practices have achieved limited success in terms of effectiveness and costs. In this paper, we briefly summarize progress of our studies on wheat and Fusarium genes, which may be useful in biotechnology for Fusarium resistance and mycotoxin decontamination in the future.
